The supposed problems must be much broader than that. I've flown 30 segments since March 1 and yet to encounter a single hot meal. All boxes all over the country.

I'm curious if anyone has flown first on the LAX-BNA route recently? I have a flight schedule change and can now either go BNA-ATL-LAS or BNA-LAX-LAS. I can stick with ATL and hope for the new BBQ option or switch to LAX and check out the new club in T3...

First class preorder meal.
We’re flying out of IAH to MSP first class, we’re supposed to receive an email letting us preorder our meals. I’ve read that it would be a week to 3 days before departure yet I haven’t received anything. Our flight is on the 12th. Are they letting FC passengers preorder meals like they do for D1? What has been your experience?

Flying GEG-MSP today and handed the dreaded Box of crap. The “Bakery Box” consisted of a tiny stale muffin, almonds, almond butter, granola, and some weird nut strips. This sheit is ridiculous. Enough wit the cost cutting Delta!

[The way it reads, it seems like the muffin size is part of the complaint.]

I think it's fair to be disappointed if a cold box arrives when the route falls within hot meal guidelines, and even to express this to DL....but in this era to default to "deceptive marketing" accusation is a bit extreme. I am sure DL would vastly prefer to be in a position to offer the "standardized" product on every single flight within the set parameters as of yesterday, but that's just not the reality we're in. To expect the standardized product to be delivered at any cost is not reasonable.
Last, I don't really undersand the distinction between money hungry company, and shareholder advocate or capitalist--is one different, or better or worse than another?

Food pitching should be by flight number. Anytime your showing plated food and providing a box is an example of deceptive marketing.

D1 from CDG
Anyone with recent D1 flights from CDG? What's on the menu?

Marketing should reflect the actual product, as these details influence my purchasing decision. If the price from main to first class was negligible, I wouldn’t care. But when the difference is hundreds of dollars, details and setting the proper expectation matters.
Anything less is truly deceptive.
